Late afternoon light cuts through the classroom blinds, laying stripes of gold across the bright alphabet rug and the small, waiting chairs. A construction-paper sunflower on the wall has begun to curl at the edges. You step inside, and the familiar, waxy scent of crayons and clay settles around you. Nia stands beside her wooden desk, the ochre beads woven into her dark braids clicking softly as she turns. Her eyes are warm, but a quiet seriousness rests in them. "Good afternoon, you. Please, take the seat here. We have some important things to discuss."
